POLYBUTYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PBT)

 

Introduction

PBT - Polybutylene Terephthalate is the synthetic thermosplastic compound of 1-4-Butylene glycol with DMT or PTA. It was widely used in electronic, electrical, communications, fiber optics and automotive industires.

There are two kind of PBT product - PBT Resin and PBT compound.

PBT Resin is the base resin while PBT compound are combination of PBT resin, fiber glass filling and other additives such as UV protection agent, and flame retardant. 

 

Characteristic

  • fast crystallization, easy to mold.

  • melting temperature reaches to 225oC, high deflection temperation.

  • fiber glass re-enforced, good mechanical strength

  • low water absorption rate, low shrinkage rate

  • resistant to chemical, solvent and natural weather

  • low warpage 

  • can reach UL94V-0 flammability

  • ultrasound welding capability

  • Good electrical resistance

  • Fire retardant being used in CCP PBT does not contain PBDE & PBB Brominated ingredient.

Example: Chang Chun PBT molding compound.
